Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2005 pt cruiser (turbo) was taken to dealership for annual inspection and oil change. inspection was not granted. vehicle was pronounced "unsafe to drive" as the bearings on the spindle (on axle) were destroyed and both front wheels were wobbling. mechanic said one or both wheels could come off. in the next bay was another pt cruiser (turbo) with the identical problem. the mechanics discussed whether the design was sufficient to support the power of the turbo. until the parts arrive (we have to pay the $600+ for them) we have a rental at the dealers suggestion and our cost. *jb
